I bought a 2006 4runner 4wd sport v6 in January of 2014 with the Michelin LTX MS/2 on it and about 10k miles on them. I noticed when I left a light (or tried to stop at one) the truck wouldn't stop very well and it would spin when leaving (until the computer would kick in and kill the engine)...

I am somewhat surprised by some of the replies by some people on my recent post. I wasn't comparing Toyota and GM leather, I was stating what I missed about my previous vehicle. Must have struck a nerve. Originally posted by gshadow325 Yep, the leather was tore along the seams and I had it...

bpowa Yeah it is all personal opinion. I dig the 4runner and love the power of the 4.0. Can't wait to lift it, put wheels, tires, bumpers, sliders, roof rack etc on it.

My deal wasn't a retail deal, I bought my 2006 4runner Sport 4x4 auto with 141,000 miles December 2013 from my step dads work on a sealed bid auction. It was his personal work truck and I paid $8000. I wasn't really in the market for a new ride but couldn't pass up the deal and I knew it's...

PM'ed you.

I was wondering if these are still for sale? Can you let me know? Thanks, Jeff

littlehandegan, How long have you run the 255/75/17 Kenda Klever MT's? How many miles do you have on them? Thanks!

I LOVE the Subie!! I am gonna say with all the other comments and compliments on it we may need some more details; specifically on the 6 bolt axles front and rear! Sucks about the tires.

Yep the compliment was directed at you and your truck.

markaidan, love the playing card idea, I am totally going to use it! Runner looks great, BTW. Thanks! EDIT: I see I have made an error, BlindT4R was using the cards... my mistake. I really like both rigs!

It has been quite a while since I posted any updates on this rig. Started building another rig that will be more for the harder trails. At this time I am going to fix the front end with a used 5.29:1 gear set, get an alignment, fix the head(s), head gasket(s), valve cover gaskets and install a...

I know there are many here who have already said "holy crap" and "thanks", etc and I have to agree COMPLETELY!! I can't thank you enough for the fact that you are doing it, documenting it and brought your wife. That is SO awesome!! Living vicarously...:keyboard:

DUDE!!! I was scrolling through these listings and I saw the IFS and 5.29's and I was totally stoked! Then I saw 96... Dang! I need pre 96! Darn it!:mad:

Thank you so much for all the pics and details. This makes the process seem less overwhelming...:D Good luck!

Wagglyfawn, there are several vehicles on their lids at this 4x4 location... it makes getting parts out easier....:pimp: I am leaning toward SAS cuz I know it will hold up better to the harder trails. We'll see...
